Great Wall motors, the same guys that brought out the xB clone, does it again. This time they built a feux off-road vehicle based off the xB.

enjoy.

i would agree.
the silverish plastic under the front and rear bumper kinda looks like the stuff on my FJ

 

Ooooooo, I like it!...

 

so thats what HHR tails would look like on our cars. not sure what it is with China and Korea and these headlight designs

 

Actually it liiks like a XB mated with a Jeep product....BTW the Japanese stole every design feature they could/had from US manufacturers so they are just getting a well deserved taste of their own medicine

 

like what? the chevy astro?

 

that is a more recent one

there is a start

 

Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery..........

but seriously, cant Toyota sue them?

 

Yes, but why bother?

 

Agreed.

I remember years back, just before the launch of the Lexus, Infinity brands, a few Japanese were caught at car shows with a little bag and an Exacto knife, cutting samples of interior parts on cars like the BMW, and they were taking those samples back to the labs in Japan to be analyzed so that upcoming Lexus brand could compete with the quality of the Europeans.

In the beginning the Japanese auto industry copied everything. But look how far they have come today, totally surpassing anything the domestic industry can produce.

 

it looks more like a jeep than an xb! all cars copy each other get over it!!!!

 

still not as awesome as the original, and don't even get me started on the Kia soulless

 

Thr front of that imitation xB looks like a Chrysler logo on the grill!

 

Am I seeing things?? ....or does it also have the "frog Eye" instrument dash ala 1st gen?
